The day of the long-awaited Publication Party has arrived. I was up very early; changed and washed bed sheets, made breakfast, then left to collect all the last minute items. The HCC Helping Hands ministry leader was at the church…

Today was laundry, shopping, soup-making, card writing, and organizing. I sampled the soups one too many times and I’m stuffed – just like the stuffed pepper soup. Made potato soup, too. Also did prep work for a frozen dessert I…
